Abstract

Techniques to stylistically transform source text are disclosed. A source text and information about an output channel may be received. The source text may be stylistically transformed based on the information about the output channel. The stylistically transformed source text may be output. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims

1. An article comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed by a processor enable a system to:

receive a source text;

receive information about an output channel; and

stylistically transform the source text by summarizing at least a portion of the source text based on the information about the output channel.

2. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

output the stylistically transformed source text.

3. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

determine one or more transformation rules based on the information about the output channel.

4. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

receive one or more of a type of output channel and properties of an output channel.

5. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

apply natural language processing.

6. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

apply one or more of probabilistic and heuristic techniques to the source text.

7. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

output the transformed source text to one or more of an electronic marquee, a display screen and a speaker.

9. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

score the source text.

10. The article of claim 1 comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

receive the source text from an electronic text source.

11. The article of claim 1, comprising instructions that when executed enable the system to:

receive context-based multi-user profiles.

8. (canceled)

12. A computer implemented method, comprising:

receiving a source text at a computing device;

receiving information about an output channel of the computing device;

stylistically transforming the source text by summarizing at least a portion of the source text based on the information about the output channel; and

outputting the stylistically transformed source text.

13. The method of claim 12 comprising:

automatically determining one or more transformation rules based on the information about the output channel.

14. The method of claim 12 comprising:

scoring the source text based on one or more stylistic transformation rules.

15. The method of claim 12 comprising:

applying natural language processing.

16. The method of claim 12, the stylistically transforming the source text comprising:

applying one or more stylistic transformation rules to the source text.

17. The method of claim 12, the stylistically transforming the source text comprising:

applying one or more of probabilistic and heuristic techniques to the source text.

19. The method of claim 12, the receiving information about an output channel comprising:

receiving context-based multi-user profiles.

18. (canceled)

20. A system comprising:

an output occurrence component operative on a processor circuit to determine information about an output channel; and

a style optimization component operative on the processor circuit to;

receive a source text,

receive the information about the output channel,

stylistically transform the source text by summarizing at least a portion of the source text based on the information about the output channel, and

output the transformed source text.

21. The system of claim 20 comprising:

a model component operative to store one or more stylistic transformation rules.

22. The system of claim 20 comprising:

a model component operative to store a different model for each output channel.

23. The system of claim 20, the style optimization component to:

obtain lexical and syntactical rules.

24. The system of claim 20, the style optimization component to:

determine one or more transformation rules based on the information about the output channel.

25. The system of claim 20, the output occurrence component to:

dynamically determine the output channel based on a user'"'"'s context.

26. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a style transformation system that when executed by the processor is operative to;

receive a source text,

receive information about an output channel,

stylistically transform the source text by summarizing at least a portion of the source text based on the information about the output channel, and

output the transformed source text.

27. The apparatus of claim 26, comprising a digital display.

28. The apparatus of claim 26, comprising a speaker.

29. The apparatus of claim 26, the style transformation system to:

score the source text.

30. The apparatus of claim 26, the style transformation system operative to:

determine one or more transformation rules based on the information about the output channel.
